our TALL WALL is Plagued with Problems

What happens here

A complex maneuver is shown where a top-heavy Wacker Neuson compactor is carefully re-positioned using both the Bobcat mini-excavator and the ASV skid steer. The mini-excavator lifts the compactor while the skid steer, using its bucket, helps to balance and guide the compactor, preventing it from tipping over. This technique is demonstrated for both on-site movement and loading the compactor onto a trailer, emphasizing safety and coordinated operation.

Goal: This step demonstrates a challenging operation of safely moving a top-heavy compactor using a combination of an excavator and a skid steer, ensuring stability during repositioning and loading.

Tools and materials

  • ASV RT-75 Posi-Track Skid Steer
  • Bobcat 325 Mini-Excavator
  • Trailer
  • Wacker Neuson Plate Compactor

and why we use them our big packer super dead in the water we were able to kind of limp it along for a couple of days but now she is cooked and uh we don't really have quite the equipment to get that out of there that asb will probably do it but we shall see so now this packer is really top heavy it doesn't have a good center of balance what he's going to do is he's going to try and tip it back so he can get in there with the bucket and the problem is if he tips it too much it will just keep going and right here it's not the end of the world if it tips over into the dirt but when we dump it onto the trailer or i mean gently set it down onto the trailer we got to be super careful because it will go off the trailer and into the street upside down and really cause some damage to the machine and also the street itself that way [Music] that's a twenty thousand dollar machine when i bought it brand new about ten years ago is twenty thousand i don't know what they're worth now i'm gonna guess maybe thirty i don't know but the thing with this machine is it's got dual drums so both the front and back drums compact evenly and it's remote control so we don't have to sit on it we don't have to walk behind it we can stand safely to the side so this has been our go-to piece of equipment on a lot of our retaining wall projects in fact as far as packers go i don't think we have anything that we prefer more than this when we can get it into place i don't know what chicken wing is doing he's got his arm and a sling t-rex arm alex that asb can handle so much like it doesn't even tip it should get it should get back at heavy right there nothing i move six foot boulders not a joke if you guys haven't seen that video i moved monster sized boulders with that asb that i never imagined you should have been able to handle it's just like a charm love that machine and it's got that mac series cab so it's like you're in a glass bubble you can see everything in there that max series cab is legitimately the best visibility of any cab we've ever had on any skid loader ever and look at the fat wide tracks and it's got this really long wheelbase which just makes this machine won't stick to the ground this is where he's got to be careful so if he pulls that too much that machine will just keep going and it doesn't take nothing but a moment just a moment if that asv jerks too much or tim wiggles the controls the wrong way it'll just keep going now knowing tim he's super technical and he…
